ABATE State Party
June 22-24 , 2007 - Altamont, IL

Unfortunately this year I could not make it to the State Party. However, my pal Vicki Askvig did make it along with her hubby George and agreed to share some of her photos with me so I could put them up. So here are a few. Take a quick breeze through them to see what was going on this year. I'll have as much fun checking them out as you will. From what I heard, the weather was not as cooperative as it has been in the past several years. I guess we had some rain. But from the photos, it does not look like it created much of a problem. What a hearty bunch!

I'm not even going to ask what those things are for.

Something different every year. This year it was foot and back massages? Edie seems to be enjoying her time at the ABATE Spa.

How refreshing is this? Bill with no Yucca! Just a very large bottle of Bacardi.

OK, another photo of Edie in a state of bliss. Or is she just ticklish?

A familiar sight although it seems as though the guys are doing all the work.

The "Manniac". Hope you are all getting your places stamped.

Tony at the ABATE bar.

Karen and Mona.

Tony and I think Edie (I hope).

Neil seems to be having fun.

Check in. Gee, nobody seems to give these folks the appreciation they deserve.

More of the guys pulling it. That doesn't sound right does it? Maybe it does?

Ah, this is more like it.

George and his new ATV.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on here??? Do I really want to know?

Ah, more Yucca. Only thing better is jello shots.

WOW! Becky actually having fun and not working.

Mona and her new ATV. What is the deal with all the ATV's this year?

The happy couple. Congrats!

And what year would not be complete without Roger's SPAM project. OK, SPAM is right up there with jello shots.
